Our weekly roundup has articles smashing the myth that wind, solar plus giant batteries are perfectly designed to power first world economies - with one drawing focus on the disaster that unfolded in Broken Hill, NSW, and another on “demand management”, a policy that involves telling power consumers to stop consuming power because wind and … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 15 December 2024

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 8 December 2024
This week’s roundup leads with South Australia's return to dirty diesel generators. SA is touted as Australia's wind and solar capital, and its quiet effort to increase diesel generation capacity stands as one almighty embarrassing admission of failure. In other news, Peter Dutton (Australia's Federal opposition leader) is channelling Donald J Trump with an announcement … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 8 December 2024
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 December 2024
This week’s roundup kicks off with Australia’s wind and solar driven power supply calamity, when a couple of mildly warm days (30°C) had the NSW Premier demanding householders turn off their air conditioners, pool pumps and other appliances to avoid a complete grid collapse. Third World stuff, to be sure. South Australia, touted as the … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 December 2024
Wind Industry Always Knew That Wind Turbine Noise Exposure Causes Adverse Health Effects
The wind industry has worked very hard to cover up sleep deprivation and other adverse health effects caused by turbine-generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. It started with the woefully inadequate, indeed, utterly irrelevant noise standards written by the wind industry; and the institutional corruption that: a) allowed those standards to become the “benchmarks” in the first … Continue reading Wind Industry Always Knew That Wind Turbine Noise Exposure Causes Adverse Health Effects
Hidden Harm: How Wind Turbine Noise Permanently Damages Neighbours’ Long-Term Health
Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a cacophony of thumping, grinding low-frequency noise for those forced to live with it. Anyone claiming that it’s not a miserable daily torment hasn’t lived with it, or they’re on the wind industry payroll. A couple of years back, STT produced a timeline which highlighted how the wind industry and … Continue reading Hidden Harm: How Wind Turbine Noise Permanently Damages Neighbours’ Long-Term Health
Bad Vibrations: Proof Low Frequency Wind Turbine Noise Penetrates Neighbour’s Homes
Anyone forced to live within 2km of wind turbines will soon tell you what enduring hell on earth is all about. The thumping, grinding cacophony of low-frequency noise these things generate is not just irritating, it poses a long-term risk to human health. Deprive someone of sleep for any length of time, and their health … Continue reading Bad Vibrations: Proof Low Frequency Wind Turbine Noise Penetrates Neighbour’s Homes
Far Out: German Study Finds Pulsing Wind Farm Infrasound 20 Kilometres From Turbines
Overrun by 30,000 or so giant industrial wind turbines, it’s no surprises that Germans know all about the misery of wind turbine noise. A component of the cacophony of low-frequency, amplitude modulated noise generated by these things occurs in frequencies meant to be below what humans can ordinarily hear. But that does not mean that … Continue reading Far Out: German Study Finds Pulsing Wind Farm Infrasound 20 Kilometres From Turbines
Why Pulsing Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise is so Annoying to Neighbours
Trying to explain the pulsing, rhythmic low-frequency noise generated by wind turbines to someone who hasn’t had to live with it, is like trying to explain a migraine to someone that’s never had a headache. One man who has done more than anybody in Australia to provide an objective explanation as to just why … Continue reading Why Pulsing Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise is so Annoying to Neighbours
South Australian Wind Turbine Noise Study Targets Neurological Effects on Sleep
Government noise regulators have spent 30 years covering up the effects of wind turbine noise on neighbours, and have done so with the help of the wind industry’s pet acoustic consultants: Three Decades of Wind Industry Deception: A Chronology of a Global Conspiracy of Silence and Subterfuge Australia can count its ethical acoustic engineers on one hand. … Continue reading South Australian Wind Turbine Noise Study Targets Neurological Effects on Sleep
How the Wind Industry Rigged Noise Rules to Get Away with Murder
In the war against the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, few individuals come close to South Australia’s Mary Morris. Mary’s knowledge of acoustics and understanding of how the wind industry rigged the so-called noise ‘guidelines’ in its favour with the aid of its pet acoustic consultants, is second to none. Here’s Mary … Continue reading How the Wind Industry Rigged Noise Rules to Get Away with Murder
